Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Duck Creek, Utah
Duck Creek Village sits at 8,400 feet on Cedar Mountain, about 30 minutes from Cedar City and an hour from Zion's east entrance, which makes it one of the few southern Utah communities where a cabin works as both a summer retreat and a winter destination. Snowmobiling and the groomed trails at the Duck Creek trailhead pull in guests from November through March, while summer brings ATV riders on the Panguitch-to-Duck Creek routes, fishermen at Navajo Lake and Duck Creek Pond, and families escaping the 100-degree heat in St. George and Las Vegas. That two-season draw is exactly why cabins here rent well nearly year-round instead of sitting empty half the year like properties in purely summer or winter markets.
Most rental cabins in Duck Creek fall in the $350,000 to $700,000 range depending on lot size, log versus frame construction, and proximity to the village center or Highway 14. Kane County and Garfield County (Duck Creek straddles the line depending on the parcel) have different short-term rental permitting rules, so confirm which jurisdiction a listing falls under before assuming Airbnb or VRBO use is automatic. Buyers should also expect septic systems, private wells or shared water shares, and propane heat rather than natural gas — all normal for the mountain, but worth budgeting for in inspections.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Duck Creek.
Does Duck Creek Village allow short-term rentals? ▾
Yes. Duck Creek is one of the few Utah mountain communities where nightly and weekly rentals are broadly permitted, with most cabins sitting on unincorporated Kane County land that doesn't impose the strict STR bans common along the Wasatch Front. Always verify with the specific HOA or subdivision (Movie Ranch, Duck Creek Village, Strawberry Point, Aspen Cove, etc.) since a handful restrict rentals under 30 days.
What's the typical price range for a rental-ready cabin here? ▾
Turnkey furnished cabins generally trade between roughly $375,000 and $750,000, with larger newer builds on bigger lots pushing past $900,000. A-frames and older 2-bedroom cabins occasionally come in under $325,000 but usually need updates before they perform well on Airbnb or Vrbo.
What kind of nightly rates and occupancy do owners see? ▾
Summer and fall weekends (June through October) book heaviest, with nightly rates often in the $225–$450 range depending on size and hot tub. Winter brings snowmobilers chasing the 300+ miles of groomed trails, so December through February holds up better than most Utah mountain markets. Annual occupancy in the 45–60% range is realistic for a well-managed 3-bedroom.
Is the cabin accessible year-round? ▾
Highway 14 from Cedar City is plowed and open all winter, which is a major advantage over seasonal-access mountain areas. Interior subdivision roads vary — some are county-maintained year-round, others require snowmobile or tracked-vehicle access from December into April. Confirm road status before assuming guests can drive to the door in February.
Do I need a well and septic, or is there municipal water? ▾
Most properties run on private septic and either a shared community well or individual well. There's no city water or sewer. Buyers should review the septic inspection, well-share agreement, and check whether the cabin has a winterization setup since freeze-ups are the number-one off-season maintenance issue at 8,400 feet elevation.
How far is Duck Creek from major airports and population centers? ▾
Cedar City is about 45 minutes down Highway 14 (and has a regional airport with Salt Lake and Denver flights). St. George is roughly 90 minutes, Las Vegas around 3 hours, and Salt Lake City about 4 hours. That Vegas-and-SoCal drive market is what keeps weekend bookings steady.
